Witnessing child’s growth
Harvesting learning each day—
Inquisitive mind
Listen with purpose
Endless landscape never rests—
Even silence speaks
Never one regret
Lifetime’s sweethearts together—
Day’s sunny side up
The only way to learn is to live.
Maybe love is just about finding the person you can be your weird self with.

Reflections

Echoing message of love
From whom will lasting hope thrive?
Looking to Father’s insight
His grace through faith comes alive
Awaking every morning
Eyes look to heavens above
Witnessing Father’s goodness
Filled with everlasting love
Carving out another day
Safe in Father’s guiding hands
Following His righteousness
Watchman over distant lands
Walking with our Creator
In Father’s glory, each time
Scaling mountainous darkness
Mercy’s light fills every climb
